The annual gathering brings together boat-builders and customers, just in time to hit the water.

“This is a gathering of friends in the industry and people that know an awful lot about boats,” Phil Sprague Jr., of Portland Yacht Services, said. “And they get together once a year to sort of begin the season.”

The boat show runs Saturday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
